A reel, such as a spincast reel, provides increased cranking power by eliminating sliding contact associated with a line pickup mechanism when the reel is in line retrieval mode. Fishing line is retrieved by locating a cam member proximate a body spool boss during a casting state for positioning the cam member to be acted on by cam engaging structure of the body spool boss. The cam member is rotated relative to the body spool boss. The cam member and a pick up pin are moved radially outwardly by the cam engaging structure. The cam member is axially moved away from the body spool boss. The cam member may then be rotated relative to the body spool boss during a line retrieve state, wherein the cam member and the body spool boss are spaced apart from one another for facilitating frictionless relative rotation.
